django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: dlopen(/Users/boris/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib Referenced from: /Users/boris/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so Reason: image not found
After googling a while I figured out there is a mess with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. So, first I needed to locate the path where libmysqlclient.18.dylib located.
$ locate libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql-5.5.22-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
Done. In Run/Debug Configurations in Environment variables I added (plus to PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1) DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql-5.5.22-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
It started working.
